It always seems that no matter what improvements are made to
wireless access point technology, there is always that one spot in your living
or office space that has lackluster Wi-Fi reception. No matter what you do,
you’re just outside the bubble, and the signal drops constantly or the
throughput is so slow that you might as well be back on a 56 kbps modem. Wi-Fi
extenders such as this Edimax EW-7438RPn N300 Universal Wi-Fi Extender aim to
fix that by cheaply augmenting the wireless network, expanding coverage and
providing better reception in areas that sorely need it

The Edimax N300 Universal Wi-Fi Extender does exactly what it’s advertised to
do, and does it extremely well. The instructions are well written and very easy
to follow, allowing the end user to have the Extender up and running in a matter
of a few minutes. If you own a wireless router with the WPS function, setup is
insanely easy, even for those who are not so tech savvy. Even without the WPS
feature, setup is still rather simple, because the browser based interface will
do most of the work for you.
The integrated LAN port adds to the flexibility of the Extender by allowing
you to use it with devices that are not wireless. This is a unique feature that
many desktop PC owners will find useful, especially if you want to locate a PC
in a room with no LAN jacks. The compact size of the Extender, and the fact that
it plugs right into an outlet with no other wiring required, means you can use
it just about anywhere.
If you have been looking to increase the coverage area of your wireless
network, and want a product that simply works right out of the box, then you
need to grab one of these, …… it’s certainly an affordable way to extend your
wireless capabilities.
Based on value, performance, ease of installation, and the fact it does
exactly as advertised, the Edimax N300 Universal Wi-Fi Extender has earned the
Overclockers Tech Gold Award!
